Death Of Israel?

UPDATE: Over at AtlasShrugged, we find that in addition to the below report, Glorious Leader is asking for softer rules to lending money to Palestine; i.e. Hamas.

I am NOT saying this is true. I am not familiar with the source. But read it and follow up for yourself. Bombshell to say the least, if it pans out.

DEBKAfile quotes senior Israeli military circles as staggered by the discovery that US president Barack Obama had approved a large Turkish arms sale to the Lebanese army, including the services of Turkish military instructors. This was taken as further proof that the US president is deaf to Israel’s immediate security concerns. Lebanese president Gen. Michel Suleiman has more than once threatened neighboring Israel. When he signed the arms deal in Ankara Tuesday, April 21, he once again pledged publicly to place the Lebanese army at the disposal of the Shiite terrorist Hizballah in any confrontation with Israel.

If that happened, said one Israeli source, Israel could find itself under attack not just by Hizballah as in the past, but by a Lebanese army, well trained and armed by Turkey. He noted that more than 50 percent of Lebanon’s fighting manpower are Shiites loyal to Hizballah.

The conviction is growing in Jerusalem that the US president endorsed the transaction as a means of breaking up the long-standing military pact between Israel and Turkey, because it interferes with his Middle East objectives. Our sources note that neither Washington nor Ankara bothered to inform Israel of the transaction or its scope.

After meeting Turkish president Abdullah Gul, Suleiman at the head of a large Lebanese military delegation signed the contracts for the sale and declared with deep satisfaction: “We reviewed the new [US] policies towards the region in the light of President Obama’s recent visit to Turkey.”

1 Little 2 Little 3 Little Scandals

How many scandals can an administration have within the first hundred days of office? The numerous tax-evasion questions of Glorious Leader’s various nominees are well documented, as are the issues with pay-to-play surrounding former-governor Bill Richardson the the senate appointee Roland Burris, which was made by impeached Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, the bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia and the continued tour of apologies to Europe and Latin America.

Now comes the report that the NSA has a Democrat Representative, Jane Harman of California, involved in a plan to lobby on behalf of Israel in return for their help in lobbying for her to get a Chairman position.

In exchange for Harman’s help, the sources said, the suspected Israeli agent pledged to help lobby Nancy Pelosi , D-Calif., then-House minority leader, to appoint Harman chair of the Intelligence Committee after the 2006 elections, which the Democrats were heavily favored to win.

Glorious Leader was not involved in this. But the corruption being heaped on the Democrats so quickly this year is surely going to make the 2010 elections VERY interesting. Hold on to your hats, folks. I think the ride is going to get pretty bumpy up until then.

A Recap Of The First Few Weeks

I wanted to take a second to recap just what the Obama administration has done during the first few weeks in office. This is, of course, beyond the Porkulus Bill that was passed Friday.

• His first call to any head of state as president was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory. 
• His first one-on-one interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television. 
• He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted. 
• He ordered all overseas CIA interrogation centers closed. 
• He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and 9/11.  (of course, charges can always be pressed again, though it would be within civilian courts, more than likely.)
• He  signed an order to release $20.3 million to help migrate thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to and live in the US at American taxpayer expense.  (‘cuz we are friendly like that, and are worried about our Arab brethren who are being persecuted by the evil Israel.)

Not that I am worried, of course. It is, after all, just Obama trying to get settled in and working to get the world to ‘approve’ of us again…

Big Joe On The Move

I have to say, I am not sure about Joe the Plumber, but I don’t fault the guy from taking every advantage of the opportunities given him. He was a bit hard on the McCain campaign, speaking out about how he thought that it was badly run, etc, though he hasn’t offered anything better (that I know).

Be that as it may, had I been in his shoes I would be doing the same thing- sinking my teeth in and milking it for all I was worth.

Our intrepid campaign hero is now on the trail of the piss-poor media in Israel and Palestine. Read about his adventures here or watch them on Pajamas TV.

First (Second?) Challenge

Vice-President Elect Joe Biden made the now-famous comments not too long ago, telling those gathered to ‘mark my words’ that an Obama administration would be tested within six-months of getting elected. For me, the scary part was that he went on to say that the response of the administration might not seem correct at first, but that they must give their support… ??? What the hell does THAT mean?

Anyway, that is old news. I chalk it up to yet another item not cared about by the MSM or anyone else, for that matter. Only we vigilant bloggers and a few in the conservative media gave it more than just a cursory look.

Fast forward a few weeks, way less than the six months stated by Biden, and we are already seeing the makings of several issues sure to face the former senator from Illinois. First, A-jad writes a letter of congratulations to Obama, then goes on to say what the U.S. NEEDS TO DO; follow that with the Russians putting missiles near the Polish border as a deterant to our putting up defense systems for that target of a nation; now we have Hamas saying that they want to sit down with Obama, as long as HE UNDERSTANDS that they have rights and options with respect to their hatred and wish for Israel to be destroyed.

Welcome to Obamanation, where everyone who hates the USA now has a leader who is willing to compromise with them because doing so will make the U.S. popular with the world again.
